Teaching 14/15

Hilary Term 14/15

Advanced Calculus

MA1132
JF Mathematics & TP

Here’s the course webpage, with assignments and such.

I gave a class on Mathematica in week 5. Here is the notebook and the slides.

Aside from the documentation, other good Mathematica resources are Wikibooks and mathematica.SE (especially this post).

These are the equations of motion of a system of n particles in three relevant potentials.

C & C++

JF Mathematics & TP

The programming assignments are in here and are worth 10% of your grade. Another 10% is from the quizzes.

I wrote some useful information about using the command line a while ago. Here’s a more in-depth version written by my friend.

If you want to compile code on your own machine or use SSH to connect to our servers, you should install Linux. Mint and Ubuntu are popular, friendly distributions. Arch is a popular and unfriendly one. Here’s an old guide to dual-booting, if you want to do that.

OS X is Unix, so it will work too. To get a C compiler* for Yosemite, run xcode-select --install. For the big cats, try this.

Discrete Mathematics

MA1S12
JF Science

Notes for the course are on the course webpage.

Here’s an animation of ATLAS’s observation of the Higgs decaying to two photons, which I mentioned in a lecture as an example of statistical significance.

Engineering Mathematics II

MA1E02
JF Engineering

This is the course descriptor and here is Manuela’s webpage. Continuous assessment is worth 20% of your grade.

Michælmas Term 14/15

Fourier Analysis

MA22S3
SF Science

The assignments (and solutions) are on Ruth’s MA22S3 page (mirror here) and are worth 20% of your grade.

Here are my solutions.

I tutored this course before and my teaching page for it has a couple of proofs which might be useful.

Mathematical Methods (Calculus)

MA1M01
JF Science

The assignments are written by Joy, Dillon and myself and are published weekly here. I wrote assignments 4 (solutions) and 7 (solutions). The official course descriptor has information about continuous assessment, etc.

Rupert Levene’s notes from four years ago are here, along with tutorials and solutions to past exam papers.

If you are completely lost, please read this and talk to me.

Mathematical Methods (Linear Algebra & Probability)

MA1M01
JF Science

See the course webpage for details, tutorials and notes.

If you’re struggling, I’m told that Khan Academy can be quite helpful.

Numerical Analysis

MA1263
JF Mathematics

Notes are here and assignments are worth 20%.

*OS X ships with Clang. If you want GCC, use Homebrew or MacPorts or something.
